I ate a banana.
Monkey see
Monkey do
Son-of-a-wrek knows someone in this county that has a ‘liger’ ( half lion, half tiger)
That really floors me. How is that even possible? And why would some human make it happen? I can’t imagine it happens in the wild. How is it even sorta legal to keep a big cat in Arkansas?
I hope that ‘liger’ don’t get out and catch Bozo and eat him.
(I knew someone who found 2 bobcat kittens and brought them home. One died pretty quickly, the Game Warden came and confiscated the other one)
Ligers (offspring of a male lion and female tiger) and tigons (offspring of a male tiger and female lion) are apparently both fairly well-known (though uncommon) hybrids – however, they don’t occur in the wild because the two species aren’t found in the same areas.
If you had a baby chimp could you potty train it to use the toilet?
I mean we get dogs trained and cats learn to poop where Mama cat taught them. Chimps are way smarter than most dogs or cats ( my Siamese cats are super geniuses, they don’t count)
“Monkey shine” would be a good name for banana moonshine.
My parents owned a spider monkey before I was born; I assume they obtained it via mail order. 16 years later, the only evidence the monkey ever existed was its wooden cage, which got reused as a home for a tiny squirrel pup that got blown out of its tree by a hurricane.
Who needs monkeys when you have grandwreks?

Yep, they lil’monkeys alright.
The baby girl grandwrex looked like a lemur when she was born. All legs and arms.
Surely a classic phrase.
Sorry, Beck, but I think mostly no, mainly, as I understand it, because they don’t want to be. In fact, they don’t like wearing diapers, either, and tend to tear them off. Also, it’s supposed to be nearly impossible to truly chimp-proof a house, and they’re extremely destructive.
Two TV shows featuring chimps I loved as a really small kid were “Chatter’s World” (Theme song lyrics: “Chatter! What’s the matter with you?”) when I was 3 and some show starring Peggy Cass when I was maybe 5? It was about a couple raising chimps as if the chimps were their kids.
Another life dream shot down!!
Thanks @nelliebly
( I kid)
I want a Narwhal then.
Just how big is that pond on your property? 
I had Zip when I was a wee child! I still have him somewhere. Sadly, my younger sister chewed on most of his fingers, and he’s lost his clothes, but a naked crippled Zip is somewhere in the deep darkness of one of my closets.
Hey, Mr.W has heavy equipment. That pond can be ever so much larger.
Trust me,I can accommodate.
I could get on board with that.
I know what nightmare I’m having tonight. 
IKR?
Those hands already creeped me out.
Now a violet toddler chewed them off! Gah…!!!
…and he’s nekkid…and deep in a dark closet…
My mother had a pet monkey when she was a child. Not an ape, but an actual monkey. May have been a spider monkey of some sort. I’m not 100% sure.
According to her, it hated her, but loved her mom and siblings. Both Mom and monkey have both passed on, though, so I have no more details to give.
i remeber BJ and the bear …
As a preteen I had many small pets. Birds, hamsters and fish aquariums and the like.
We had a small pet shop in our town. I was always in there, looking and shopping.
The owner had a decrepit old Chimp in a cage. That thing was so mean. If you got too close to his cage he’d stick his hand out and pinch you or pull your hair.
Subsequently, the guy asked me to help clean cages and he’d pay me in various pet foods.
Well, I had to clean Boscoes(chimp) cage. That s.o.b. bit me so many times. He didn’t have teeth but it still hurt.
One cold night Boscoe got his hand on the warming light in the petshop and it caught the litter in his cage on fire and he burnt the place down.
